The British Ragdoll Cat Club 5 January 2013. The THE BRITISH RAGDOLL CAT CLUB 5 TH JANUARY 2013. THE KORAT & THAI CAT ASSOCIATION SHORTHAIR CAT SOCIETY SHEILA P HAMILTON © A very busy and a very enjoyable event staged by seven clubs/societies/associations providing excellent organisation on the part of all concerned. LINDA ASHMORE the Show Manager was in her usual competent and efficient mode as she bustled about. It was good to see her looking so well again. I spent the majority of my day in the Ragdoll section and will therefore report on this show first. Congratulations to PAULA LONG and to her Assistants KAREN HARNELL and MARGARET WALKDEN- all their hard work paid off and their organisation and hospitality left nothing to be desired. My day was made complete by having the very good company of an excellent steward MARGARET LYNCH who handled the cats with expertise and dedication. Thank you Margaret, I look forward to next time My very enjoyable day was made complete by judging the overall Best in Show with a lovely line up of the cream of the Ragdoll Breed. My overall winner was a superb representative of the breed - a very handsome neuter boy with presence owned by MRS M.PENMAN PR DIZZIPAWS ROBERTO 66AW .He showed excellent type throughout with a superb temperament and was beautifully prepared and presented. Congratulations to both ROBERTO and his very happy owner on their successful day.

Silky coat texture not quite in full winter phase but his ruff and breeches are full and of a good length. Dense seal brown points with some seal brown tonal shading to his coat. Slight evidence of stud tail to his well balanced, bushy tail forgiven because he is a working boy! Nevertheless he was very well prepared and presented and has a wonderful temperament .

For perfection I would prefer slightly more definition to his flat plane. Very good eye shape and colour with setting marginally close and very slightly deep in setting Well defined retrousee nose with level bite, good width to cheeks and with very good depth to his chin.

Proportionate ears with flat plane and width to top still developing. Good nasal tilt. Excellent eye shape, deep blue colour and typical expression. Bite is level but the chin is rather shallow. Firm and well grown and well balanced body for his age. Excellent pale fawn coat colour of a lovely silky texture.

(A) A.C COLOURPOINTED KITTEN 6-9 MONTHS FEMALE 1 BOB JAMIESON MERCHEYDOLLZ ARIANNA 66G F 2/6/12 A very pleasing and typical girl showing style and promise.

Nasal tilt is still developing. Bite is level and her chin is firm. Very good body type and balance- she is well boned and shows very good substance for the age and gender. Excellent length to tail perfecting her very good conformation. Well mingled points complimenting her clear and silky coat still at the kitten stage for length and density. 2 HARRISON DOLLYBROOKE DARNIKA 66E F 30/5/12 A very attractive girl showing overall very good type and promise , however she still needs to grow into her slightly large ears which she carries slightly high. Good breadth to head with very good definition to her upward tilt to nose. Good breadth to muzzle and having a level bite. Very good eye shape, colour and expression. Well grown and well balanced body for her age and gender.

Shown to advantage and was a pleasure to judge. 4 SALTER CWTCHYCATS RASPBERRY RIPPLE 66D F 16/4/12 The oldest girl in this class but not quite having the strength of head nor the type potential of the other girls. She does however show certain qualities which I shall mention first. The eyes show excellent colour shape , setting and typical expression. Excellent near white coat colour complimenting and contrasting with her vivid red points, which show almost matching red tone on all points. Very good bone, substance and weight to her typical Ragdoll frame. Sturdy legs and with good balance to her bushy tail. Lovely temperament and condition.

Excellent boning and type to her well grown body, with sturdy legs, large round paws and with very good balance to her bushy tail.

Her ruff is well through as are her knickerbockers. Excellent disposition and was a pleasure to judge. 2 COWSILL ADZWOLD MEMPHIS 66A F 27/4/12 Another attractive girl , still developing . Very good top of head with flat plane apparent. Excellent deep blue eyes showing very good shape and setting. Bite is level and she has reasonable depth to her chin.

Very good condition and temperament. 3 CANLIN RAGZNDREAMS SUGARN SPICE 66E F 14/4/12 She is slightly short in the head which robs her of the required ragdoll look and detracts from her nasal upward tilt which is apparent. At present her ears are too large and carried too high for the breed standard. Large , round eyes lacking in depth of colour.

  • Printable Breed Introduction
    TICA Khaomanee Breed Introduction www.tica.org General Description: With one blue eye and one eye ranging from copper through yellow to green, this shining white cat from Thailand captures the imagination. Khaomanee (sometimes seen as Khao Manee) means White Gem and is thought to have been a favorite in the royal palaces. A heart- shaped face with high cheekbones and a brilliant white coat like diamonds belie the naughtiness of these stunning cats, but their devotion to you will have you admiring the naughtiness that these intelligent cats so enjoy as they entertain you with their antics. History: Several related breeds have their origins, ancient origins, in Thailand. The Siamese (Wichien-maat), the Burmese (Suphalak), the Korat (Dork Lao) and the Khaomanee. The first three breeds are well-established in the West but the Khaomanee has remained a well-kept secret in its native Thailand. Like the other breeds, we find references to the Khaomanee in the Tamra Maew (an ancient collection of Thai cat poems from 1350). Although in that text, it is called the Khao Plort. While the eyes were originally referred to as the color of mercury, the eye color was changed to reflect the odd-eyed cats that were considered lucky and also to have the yellow eyes like canary diamonds that breeders also favored. Interest in these striking cats has grown in the West, and in 1999, Colleen Freymouth imported the first Khaomanee, Sripia, from Thailand to the US. She also imported a male and bred the first Khaomanee litter in North America. Janet Poulsen (Odyssey cattery) exported the first Khaomanee to the UK, and interest in the breed is growing there, as breeders import more of these stunning cats from Thailand to continue developing the breed.

A. Pistorius1,2* and Ineke Blokker2 Abstract Background: For many years, breeders of companion animals have applied inbreeding or line breeding to trans- fer desirable genetic traits from parents to their ofspring. Simultaneously, this resulted in a considerable spread of hereditary diseases and phenomena associated with inbreeding depression. Results: Our cluster analysis of kinship and inbreeding coefcients suggests that the Thai or traditional Siamese cat could be considered as a subpopulation of the Siamese cat, which shares common ancestors, although they are con- sidered as separate breeds.

A true cat prefers your flower bed to her litter box. A true cat can find and discard the smallest pill in the largest heap of food. That is why administering a pill to a true cat is a two-person job. Sometimes a three-person job. A true cat has hiding places you’ll never find. A true cat abhors doors. When caught misbehaving a true cat pretends he was doing something else. A true cat is sociable. He loves parties, especially the hors d’oeuvres. catscans.com 2 Editorial Welcome to our Autumn 2015 issue of The Scratching Post So if you’re ready, sit back with a Margaretta and enjoy the newsletter!
